CHELSEA have been tipped to sign Premier League goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez if Aston Villa fail to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Aston Villa signed Martinez from Arsenal in 2020 and the 32-year-old has gone on to establish himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and a player that has lifted the World Cup with Argentina.
Aston Villa are currently sixth in the Premier League, three points outside the top-four places, and sit fifth in the revamped Champions League ahead of their final two group games.
However, despite the fact he is happy at Villa, Ex-England striker Darren Bent believes star goalkeeper Martinez may consider leaving Villa if they do not secure a return to the Champions League next season and has named Chelsea as a potential destination for the big man
‘I wonder if Aston Villa don’t get back in the Champions League,’ former Premier League striker Bent told talkSPORT. ‘I know he signed a new contract, but could he go?
‘The fact is he could play for almost any team he wanted to. Chelsea could get him.’

We do need a stopper, but again, we would be massive surprised to see Martinez make the move to Stamford Bridge, especially because the board like to sign players that they can offer 10 year contracts too.
So even though he would be a great signing, it is not gonna happen
